36 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Dorchester

“Absolutely delicious food and wonderful people working here!“

“I am of Bajan decent. Today I experienced the goat and Coucou (sp?). It was so good that I found myself swaying and humming. I almost expected my Bajan grandmother to enter the room and join me. The food was so tasty, comforting and just spicy enough. I also had the opportunity to meet Chester, the owner and Chef. In speaking with him, it is clear to note that he is committed to his community. While recognizing some of the problems, he comes forward offering solutions! I wish the best to this establishment and its patient staff as I will return. Q.M. Zakiya“

“this was so good and fast!“

“The food is Delicious!!!!“

“I have only done take-out, but you can also eat here. The jerk chicken is good, and I have also enjoyed the oxtail and curry goat. The fish dishes are also tasty. Not as many vegetable sides as I would prefer, but still enjoyable as a treat every now and then.“

“Delicious food, prepared with care & love. I had a jerk chicken & plantain wrap — highly recommend. For dessert, key lime pie — out of this world. Excellent service & atmosphere.“

“I placed a catering order and it the process, professionalism, and the food was honestly the best of the best in the Boston area! Jermaine provided excellent customer service and I couldn’t be happier! All of our guest were raving about the food. You all have gained a lifelong customer. THANK YOU!!! See you soon.“

“Absolutely fantastic! We got the fried chicken with rice and beans and the fried fish with plantains. Chicken was well seasoned, and moist despite being fried without a batter. Fish was moist, tender, flaky, served whole fried, on the bone. Pikliz was tangy with a hint of that scotch bonnet spice, great compliment to the fried meats. Rice and beans was probably the best I've had on the continental US. 10/10 overall!“

“Went here for the first time last night on a friends recommendation. Never tried Venezuelan food before but WOW we were absolutely blown away by the beef arepas and the mojitos . So delicious! We came on a Saturday and were seated immediately, and the food came out fast. Definitely coming back!“

“AWESOME experience here!!

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place and I'm glad we did!
It was our first time eating Haitian food so we were excited.

The woman tending to us was so sweet and explained to us our options and let us try samples. She genuinely wanted us to enjoy our meal and I felt that love from her.

We ended up splitting a dinner plate with chicken, salad, plantains, rice, and mac n cheese. Everything was clearly homemade and delicious. Portions were generous and we both left full. They even made fresh cheesecake and gave us some to try, literally they were so kind!

Really I only have good things to say about this place and I recommend you support their business because they were awesome and the food was of high quality!!“

“Great place for date night.“

“i will definitely be visiting The D Coal Pot again very soon. The food is fresh taste great and really good. I was driving and came upon this restaurant i didn't plan on going to this restaurant but I said to self stop and get a few Patties and wouldn't you know they had no Patties. I left the restaurant with Corn Soup Peas & Rice Chicken Roti Beef Roti. I also got to try a dessert I've never had before I don’t know the name of it but had Guava Sweet Potato Coconut and other things to make this dessert which was really good so I ordered 2 to go. D Coal Pot is definitely a place you must visit and get a meal.“

“You can’t go wrong with anything you order from them! Everything is fresh and the owner is a great guy.“

“I love Ali Roti since the 1980’s. Fresh food good flavor and family owned. Delicious food to top my cravings.“

“You get what you pay for… Tasty food price matches the portion!!!“

“Sean makes great food. His local food selections are seasonal eating at its best!“

“The young woman at the order window is so pleasant! She’ll let you know exactly how long the wait is and if there are any issues in the kitchen causing delays.

I ordered the roti, and it was tasty. However, I waited nearly two hours.

I would not recommend the pepper sauce unless you love extremely spicy food—it is HOT! Just a tiny drop is enough. 🌶️“

“The meat and the rice were bone free, well seasoned, and delicious!!! A little dry, but I was doing a “too good to go” bag at the end of the day, so that’s okay.

I will have to come back for more!

Parking is tricky, because there is one entrance and one exit and they are not obvious, so be aware and careful when pulling in (especially if you’re crossing multiple lanes of traffic to do it), but there is free parking.

Also, lots of black ice right now in the lot, which is not the businesses fault, as I’m from of them it’s fine, but just be careful!!!“

“Very nice place and the owner is a fantastic person. Salute“

“Came here for the oxtail, was not disappointed! I do wish it had more meat on it but it was so flavorful and well seasoned. Perfectly paired with rice and beans &pikliz & plantains. The food was so fresh and smelled delicious. The place was a little hard to find but just look at the numbers on the door. Parking wasn’t bad.“

“I don't know where to start because there are too much for me to say, first of all, I have been coming to this place for a period of time, it is mostly my Sundays spot to bring my family after church. The reason that I choose to leave this feedback because I FEEL like it is time for me to give them a feedback 😊!
To continue, I congratulate these people for the hard work that they have been putting to keep up with running this place, bravo. On the other hand, I would like to give you guys an advice base the the type of review that you guys are getting, I hope you guys use these good and bad comments to motive yourself and your teams! Do not let people get you distracted“
